I think to get one dishwasher for my new house, but it seems like dishwasher is not popular in Malaysia....

does anyone has dishwasher at home? is it helpful and worth to get one?

Mind to share your experience with dishwasher?

yeah, not very popular in Malaysia. I had 1 when i study in Australia. We are so lazy, after eating just rinse and put in the dish washer. When it is full, we just turn it on and leave the plates and cups in the dishwasher.

Same thing for oven and microwave. Just buy pizza, chicken, fish and chip from supermarket and put it inside the oven, no nd to cook HAHA.

I am too lazy to wash the dish too , therefore looking for a dishwasher

can the dishwasher wash pot and frying pan too? and I heard ppl said it need to take 1 hour to wash each time, is tat true?

do you sell dishwasher?

not sure..never used d/washer be4...hehehe

i don sell but we plan to get it for our future house. Yeah, need quite some time for cleaning. You need to rinse it first then only put in the dishwasher.

I use it everyday..its the best. Malaysia is the best place to use dishwasher as water is not expensive like some part of the world. But the powder or liquid is expensive. Cant use normal soap/detergent

It is not popular in Malaysia because here most of us have mobile dish washer called maids!
I decided not to use dish washer because we dont cook as much. If you cook daily and have big family, dishwasher is good. But then if you have big family, chances are you have a maid ...

for me dishwasher is not environment friendly..
coz use sooo much water.
i more prefer hand wash

I used dishwasher when studying in US last year. I think not suitable in Malaysia coz here you eat a lot oily stuff & need to rinse first. Might as well just wash it off rather than transferring to dishwasher after that, IMO. If you stay 1-2 person & use only few plates & cutlery, then u need to wait until it's full so you dont waste water & the dishwasher detergent & electricity. In my experience, i use until all my plate & cup finished then only start the washing, by that time, no plate to use (coz i only stayed 2 persons). But the best part is you can turn it on & let it wash & u can go out... Come back all plates & cups clean

But I noticed not easy to find the dishwasher detergent here... maybe that is another thing u might need to think about.

I use it everyday. Worth the investment. Been using it for 7 years now, no breakdown. I have a Siemens, same as Bosch just rebadged. It uses very little water, between 10-20 litre. I keep getting questions from friends such as clean or not? Well, if you can hand wash dishes with near boiling water, go ahead. It also steams the dishes before the cycle ends.

Only problem is, most kitchen in Malaysia is not built for one. I have a built it one, the furniture maker is doing it for the first time although he has decades of experience. I did the plumbing myself and I had a drainage part that I got from Germany while I was there. You can get a similar drainage part from IKEA these days.

I also have a Siemens washer, I called BSH (Bosch-Siemens Holdings) to service it and they come to my place which is quite remote (near KLIA). So I have confidence of them servicing the dishwasher if required.

I got a Fisher&Paykel drawer dishwasher. It is pretty pricey but I have a small family so the smaller size suits us more.

Where can we get those auto dishwasher powder in KL? Cheers

yeah, where to buy dishwasher detergent or salt?

Hi, maybe can try the giant, jj etc. I finally got my at giant ~4kg for RM25, USA product

wow, good info...thanks bro.

Only places like Cold Storage and big hardware store (ACE hardware) carries it. I got mine from Cold Storage (u can try Cascade brand or Finish brand).

Local hypermart dont carry them (Cascade/Finish).

I got my power x 3.6kg from giant in k. Terengganu as where i reside for only rm 25. They also have the finish but too expensive for 1kg at Rm25. They got yhe finish rinse aid too.

carrefour also carries detergent, rinsing agent and salt. even carrefour own brand (its good btw)

the major supermarkets do carry the dishwasher detergent so no problem to get them really..
have used a dishwasher for 8 years - mine is a borsch and i believe this is the best brand..tried using electrolux recently as its cheaper but not as good as borsch..

why dishwasher - very good if you have babies and small kids as the hot water will sterilize everything for one, secondly, great if you hate doing dishes..
so very convenient esp after dinner, lazy lah to have to do dishes..
